How thoughtful of J.K. Rowling to send a heartfelt letter to the young Spring girl who survived that massacre allegedly by her uncle…

2 years ago

You've probably heard of 15-year-old Cassidy Stay of Houston, Texas. Last month, her uncle murdered her mom, dad and four siblings. Cassidy was shot in the head, but survived by pretending to be dead.

At a memorial for her family, she quoted Professor Dumbledore from "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", saying, quote, "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."

She added, quote, "I know that my [family is] in a much better place and that I'll be able to see them again one day."

After a Facebook page was created for Cassidy to meet J.K. Rowling, the author did reach out to the girl.

Sending her a hand-written letter FROM Dumbledore, written in purple ink . . . along with a wand, an acceptance letter to Hogwarts and an autographed copy of "Prisoner of Azkaban".

SUNNY is the best job in the world, and I should know ... I’ve been playing all of our favorites here for 25 years! Even though I’m up at 3:30 every weekday morning getting my fitness on with my four dogs, I’ve managed to stay married and raise five energetic kids … ehem. After my on-air shift 5-11 a.m., I love getting out and helping folks in our great city … serving on the Star of Hope and 100 Club boards, among others. I’ve tried to stay healthy and energetic by cutting back on coffee and sugar but I constantly fail – HELP! The most important thing I’ve learned while here at SUNNY, Houstonians - whether native or transplants - are the kindest, smartest, most patient people (sitting in traffic, how could they not be?) who work really hard to be the best they can be! I heart Houston!
